Populations of a cyprinid fish are self-sustaining despite widespread feminization of males

TL;DR: Examining population genetic structures and effective population sizes of wild roach living in English rivers contaminated with estrogenic effluents demonstrates that roach populations living in some effluent-contaminated river stretches, where feminization is widespread, are self-sustaining.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Consequences of Feminization in Breeding Groups of Wild Fish

TL;DR: Feminization of male fish is likely to be an important determinant of reproductive performance in rivers where there is a high prevalence of moderately to severely feminized males, demonstrating a significant adverse effect of intersex on reproductive performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trypanosomes are monophyletic: evidence from genes for glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase and small subunit ribosomal RNA.

TL;DR: The gGAPDH results support the hypothesis that trypanosomes evolved from an ancestral insect parasite, which adapted to a vertebrate/insect transmission cycle, and implies that the switch from terrestrial insect to aquatic leech vectors for fish and some amphibian try panosomes was secondary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patterns of co-evolution between trypanosomes and their hosts deduced from ribosomal RNA and protein-coding gene phylogenies.

TL;DR: Relationships between trypanosomes are examined using phylogenies based on the genes for the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) and the glycosomal glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase (gGAPDH) to resolve the deepest split within the genus.
